BLURB:
For most of his life, Terry Geirhart worked beside his best friend and lover on their farm nestled in rural southwestern Ontario. With Karlstadt being a small town, their true relationship remained a secret. Seth’s death in a tragic accident leaves Terry beside himself. After two years of mourning, Terry wants to learn to live again. Unfortunately, he has no idea how.
While not ready to date, Terry does need a new hired hand. A close friend suggests her relative from the city who’s looking for a new start. Damien Manicuso, stylish and openly gay, has never stepped out of the city, but after flunking out of university and being kicked out by his family, Terry’s job couldn’t be more welcome. The two have nothing in common except a mutual attraction, but working a farm brings people close. Both afraid to admit their feelings, they must find the courage or lose everything all over again.
REVIEW:
Farmer Terry lost his lover and best friend in a very tragic accident and two years on he still misses Seth. Although he is not ready to meet another man, he does need to hire someone to help him run the farm. Openly gay Damien has been kicked out by his family after failing in his studies at the university. Whilst they have nothing in common in the beginning, these two slowly start to get to know each other. Both of them are unsure of each other’s reactions because of their insecurities. Terry thinks he is a bear with weight issues and Damien is just learning to live outside the city. How cute is that!
I found this story easy to read, and endearing. I think the author needed to expand on, and show us a little more about how these two were responding to each other rather than just telling us, but I still enjoyed reading this gentle romance. I love stories where two guys who are very different from each other meet and fall for each other. I particularly liked Terry’s appearance. He was an average guy with a kind heart. He was not a big muscular drop dead gorgeous male. I really loved him for being an everyday guy. Damien is lovable because he was willing to go the extra mile to achieve his goals. I really liked reading this sweet, short story.
